Australia Women vs New Zealand Women LIVE: Australia will look to strengthen their position in the series after surviving a major scare in the opening match.
The hosts began their chase confidently with aggressive top-order batting, but a middle-order collapse brought New Zealand back into contention. Australia will aim to improve their middle-overs batting and make better use of the Powerplay as they return to the high-scoring North Sydney Oval.
Ellyse Perry was one of Australia’s standout performers in the previous match, smashing 52 off just 30 deliveries to help anchor the chase. Captain Sophie Molineux will look to lead a strong Australian lineup featuring Beth Mooney, Georgia Voll, Ashleigh Gardner and Annabel Sutherland.
New Zealand Women, meanwhile, will take confidence from pushing the world champions close in the series opener. Georgia Plimmer led the visitors’ batting effort with an unbeaten 85 off 68 balls, while Jess Kerr made a significant impact with the ball, taking three wickets for 25 runs to trigger Australia’s middle-order collapse.
